Happy October!
Third graders see me FIRST thing in the morning. Chances are there will be dew on the grass at some point. The students will get their socks/shoes wet. It is a good idea for the third graders to bring an extra pair of shoes and socks for after PE. We do go outside weather permitting. We have had such a great start to the year that we could be outside well into October!
Our soccer unit will be ending next week. The students have really enjoy being active by practicing the skills they have learned. Study guides will go home Monday. The first online assessment will be Thursday, October 5th. Please help your child review for this online assessment.
Fitness testing for fourth and fifth graders will occur sometime this month. This year third graders will "practice" the fitness testing however, formal scores will not be taken until fourth grade. The fitness tests include the pacer, the sit and reach, the curl up test, and the push up test.
After fitness testing, we will go into our Net Games unit.
